Notice of withdrawal
To exercise the right of withdrawal, you must give notice of withdrawal within 14 days of receiving the Lot. To make this easier for you, you can send notice to the Seller via our Online Marketplace.
To do so, fill in this withdrawal form.
Confirmation of withdrawal request
Once you’ve informed the Seller or us that you want to cancel your purchase, we’ll assess your request. Once we’ve approved your request, we’ll send you the Seller’s return address as soon as possible.
If cancellation under the right of withdrawal is not possible, we’ll explain why the right of withdrawal is not applicable for that particular purchase.
Right of Withdrawal Policy
The purpose of our Right of Withdrawal Policy is to explain the right of withdrawal stipulated in the EU Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU) (‘the Directive’). This policy forms an integral part of our Terms of Use. We’re providing this information on behalf of all professional JEWELSET Sellers who use our platform to sell to Buyers living in the European Economic Area (EEA).
The Directive gives Buyers the right to cancel and return any purchase bought from a Professional Seller (indicated by the ‘Pro’ icon next to their name on a lot page), as long as (i) the Buyer doesn’t purchase Lots professionally and (ii) the Buyer lives in a country within the EEA.
The right of withdrawal gives eligible Buyers (‘Consumers’) a ‘cooling-off’ period of 14 days to decide whether they want to keep their purchase. Within the cooling-off period, a Consumer can cancel the purchase without giving a reason for the cancellation. However, we do recommend giving a reason. This gives us a chance to try and solve the problem or prevent the same problem from happening in the future. If you qualify as a Consumer under the Directive, the following is applicable to your purchases:
The start of the 14-day cooling-off period
The cooling-off period starts on the day after you receive the Lot or:
If the Lot is delivered in more than one shipment or is composed of multiple parts, it will start on the day of the last shipment or the day the last part is delivered.
For agreements about the regular delivery of Lots during a set term, it will start on the day you received the first Lot.
You can also withdraw your purchase before receiving the Lot.
Your obligations during the cooling-off period
During the cooling-off period, you need to handle the Lot and its packaging with care. You are allowed to evaluate the Lot in a way similar to how you would evaluate it in an offline store.
Handling the Lot with care is very important, because the Seller can hold you liable for any decrease in value beyond what would be caused by this careful handling. Careful handling is defined as only handling the Lot in a way that is acceptable to establish the nature, characteristics, and functioning of the Lot. If the Seller claims your handling has decreased the value of the Lot, we will not mediate this claim. You’ll need to reach a solution directly with the Seller.
Returning the Lot
The Lot, including all related accessories that were delivered with it, must be returned to the Seller within 14 days of us approving your request. If possible, you should return the Lot in the original condition and packaging.
If the Lot is not returned to the Seller within 14 days of us approving the withdrawal, your right of withdrawal is lost and the Seller will be paid.
If the Lot is returned to the Seller within the 14 days and there are no issues relating to shipping or damage, you’ll be refunded the purchase price and the costs for delivery to you. If the Seller already received payment for that Lot, they will be obliged to reimburse you for the purchase price and the costs for delivery to you.
Costs of return shipping
If you cancel and return a Lot under the right of withdrawal, you will bear the direct costs, risk, and burden of return shipping.
We highly recommend packing the Lot properly and securely, and using insured shipping. This is because, if the Seller can show that the Lot is damaged or lost during return shipping, we are entitled to pay the Seller. If this happens, you will need to (i) contact the Seller directly to arrange any (partial) refund and/or (ii) contact the shipping company to claim damages.
